28 weeks! So, head of lettuce/eggplant/cauliflower. Take your pick.
Little man has been moving, shaking, punching, and kicking. Had a 2 day break from my zofran (alas, it didn't last). Worst thing is the hip and lower back pains. I love my heat sock.
Appt in a week. Doing the every 3 week thing now, but I'm going to try to talk OB out of it. Didn't do it last time this soon. Glucose test hasn't happened yet, but I have all week, which means I'll probably wait til Friday.
GTKY: Listening to parents say NO 100x and never actually backing it up and enforcing it. Physically stopping the 3 yr old from being a disrespectful turd will not stifle her creativity and self esteem.
Weeks? 27 Weeks as of Yesterday (Sunday) Fruit? Rutabaga
Symptoms? 1/2 of the time that I sleep on my right side if I havent moved in to long my leg goes numb...thats always fun!! Other than that, Ive been pretty good!
Appointment updates? Did my 1 hour Glucose test and I failed it by 6 points. Going today to pick up my blood work slip for my 3 hour test, but I have a friend who is an OB and he said that because I failed it by so little I will pass the 3 hour test, which is very reassuring!! Just sucks that I am going to have to take half a day off of work to do it!!
GTKY: Let your judgey out. What do other moms do that drive you bonkers? Double standards welcome. DRIVES me INSANE that my sister does not put my neice and nephew (twin 1.5 month olds) on a schedule. Instead she lets them so whatever she seems fit, and thus makes my mom work extra hard. (ETA mom just flew in from FL for the summer and to help my sister out, Mom also has MS And has been told she has to take it easy.) I went to see her (mom) on Saturday and Mid conversation she fell asleep!!

Hi Monday ladies!
Weeks? 28
Symptoms? Overall feeling better than ever. Also increased discharge, a little bit of hemorrhoids, and a sore back. Fun stuff!
Appointment updates? Just the regular in a couple of weeks!

I've nannied for so many different types of parents... the only ones I ever REALLY judged were this divorced couple with 3 kids under 4 (including twins). Both parents seemed so self-absorbed and just wanted to have their own lives. Even when I nannied 50 hours/week they would ask for extra evenings. I just felt like, you only have them for a WEEK before they go back to the other parent. Can't you stay home with them in the evenings? Obviously they were dealing with a lot, too, but it didn't feel like they handled it well for their kids.

Weeks? Fruit? 28. Eggplant. I believe it. Baby feels huge bumping around in there.
Symptoms? I'm supposed to be doing kick counts and I'm not. I'm going to get in trouble with my doctor. I just know she kicks a lot most of the time. My back needs to crack constantly, my hips and ribs hurt sometimes, and the allergies are driving me INSANE. But I said 1st Tri that I would trade morning sickness for any other symptoms and I meant it. When people ask me how I'm feeling, I say Great! because I don't have to throw up every day anymore and I will always be feeling better in comparison to that. It's been really good for my general gratitude level.
Appointment updates? This week I have my last 4-week appointment. I will start having them every two weeks after this. Crazy. Also, we started childbirth preparation classes last week so that will continue through the rest of the month. I've been enjoying them so far. But I was supposed to start kick counts for that too. I just don't know what time of day I should do it. I have such an irregular schedule that it's hard to point to one time as being right, when I'll definitely be awake and not doing anything else.
GTKY: Let your judgey out. What do other moms do that drive you bonkers? Double standards welcome. I have to agree with wegrowsheep, it drives me insane when parents let their kids run them and don't follow through on what they say. Also, both my SIL and downstairs neighbour have a problem with yelling at their kids all.the.time and I hate it. Not only is it noisy and annoying, I think it's damaging to the kids to get that all the time and I think they'll tune you out after awhile. Hoping I don't fall into that trap.
Weeks? Fruit? 24...supposedly cantaloupe but that's gotta be the smallest cantaloupe on the planet.
Symptoms? Not many. Baby is moving some.
Appointment updates? Last week I had an apt and Dr. scheduled for another ultrasound. She said it's nothing to worry about but the babies head looked a bit flat (insert horribly long scientific term). She said that it's most likely nothing and that it's usually caused by the baby being in a poor position. Still freaky though.
GTKY: Let your judgey out. What do other moms do that drive you bonkers? Double standards welcome. Parents who treat their kids like an accessory or inconvenience. I feel so bad for kids who get hauled all over and have no routine because the parents see their kids as just something to be shown off.
